Are you saying my hype and hope and dreams on the 1080p version of Our War Games is all but well-placed? Or was Our War Games done on film, giving us something to look forward to in the BD version of the movie?

>>11172838Unless Toei's hiding a pure digital master and the BDs are upscaled in a non-destructive manner (both of these things are incredibly unlikely), probably. The one they used for the DVD box is a composite capture or something, so it's full of ugly artifacts like dot crawl and rainbowing. Most of Toei's early digital shows suffer from this. Admittedly I think Bunny Hat could have done a better job filtering that stuff, but it's not going to change the fact that the master is utter garbage.

>>11172848The original pilot movie was shot on film, but Our War Game was all digital. Half the scenes look like they were drawn in MS Paint.

>>11172976Not him but I regard it as beautiful. It's not Stardust Memories, but it's memorable with its image and visual. These were taken to the modern day "Summer Wars" and one can instantly remember where it was from.

Now I want to watch it again. I can look past the terrible quality, and you should too, otherwise you'll have to avoid watching a lot of classics just because the video is not perfect, and that'd be just dumb .

>>11173116Bad subs shouldn't keep people from watching stuff either. I'm watching Saint Seiya and it may as well be in another language because the subs go from amazing in the first few episodes to absolute shit.

If you've been watching enough animu and are not a complete retard, a few grammar and vocabulary classes (probably a year's worth) or the equivalent in self studying is enough to understand about 80% of spoken dialogue.

Learning to read is harder, but not necessary for animu so that's beside the point.

>>11172243>>11172377If it's Toei, it doesn't matter what the original source material is, it's going to be upscaled.

But because it's digital doesn't mean shit. If the company still has the original digital elements saved, it's only a matter of resizing and MAYBE retouching a color here and there, and it's perfect; the issue is when the elements weren't saved (like FLCL) and the only choice is to do an upscale.

>>11179697Damn, you're blowing my mind here dude. It's not perfect because Metal Seadramon is either the 2nd water or the 2nd metal depending on what you count him as, but still, that's impressive. I wonder if it was intentional.

Back to Digimon, Adventure 02 has the kind of fuckup that only Toei could pull off.

The OP gets updated at episode 26. No problem there. But the textless version got corrupted at some point, because at 29, you get pic related. And you get pic related for every following episode until it gets fixed for episode 41.

>>11182891Hey man, I only watched the first two episodes with the form/s I didn't really like the look of. I'll probably like it by the time it's over. At the time it was new and scary and the first two episodes weren't terribly engaging.

>>11189040Did I mention that I watched it two years ago? Excuse me for the term I used, which I knew was not the correct one but rather literally what it is. It being used in the dub is completely coincidental. Sorry for not calling it whatever the correct name is.

OK, looking through bits of 40-50 of 02, not all of the old footage is from composite masters. But a lot if it is, witth no basis for what sequences are composite and which are component.

In episode 42, you have the standard S1 digivice evolution shot (almost always accompanied by the ~bwaaaaaaa~ from the start of Brave Heart). That's taken from a composite source. The very next shot is the full Gabumon to Garumon sequence, taken from a component source.

So yeah, Toei had no consistent archival policy, even when it came to animation they knew they'd be reusing for a year.

>>11204984It's going to be whatever the broadcaster has. Sometimes, this is better than anything available on home video. Take Showa Rider, except for the two Kamen Rider Black specials, Toei Channel has broadcast every episode from new HD masters made from the original film, while the DVDs for X, Amazon and Stronger are all taken from old composite tape masters.

>>11205826Well I wonder whenever Digimon Adventure and 02 were even broadcast with component tapes or plain digital composite.Btw if you mention the original film. Just have yourself informed that Toei had archival policy of junking all magnetic audio for their TV shows. That's why movies sounds way better than any of their stuff.

>>11205902The Adventure and Adventure 02 DVDs are probably similar in quality to what the broadcasters got. Home video releases are, at worst, going to be made from the same masters that are used to make the broadcaster's masters.

>>11177303It's a human with an army mostly consisting of dragons and metal and metal dragons being brainwashed by a great villain (Darkknightmon) into serving because the blackmailed one failed and the OTHER other one was kept in reserve

>>11216877>More mind blowing stuff if you weren't paying attention - three of the four Dark Masters were the ORIGINAL evil Ultimates.>>The exception is MetalSeadramon, who replaced the less threatening looking Pukumon.

In the meantime, since there's a lack of easily gotten hold of softsubs for Adventure 02's first movie, I threw this together: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17827108/Digimon_Adventure_02_Movie_1_Softsubs.rar

DmonHiro's softsubs for the two halves put together, in three flavours; original black/white, one to match the font used in the series, and one to match the font used in the other movie. Enjoy.

>>11240086They have those creepy things at the stage greetings for the second 02 movie, both Tamers movies and the Frontier movie. They may have had them at the one for the first 02 movie, but that's only on he retail disc, and I was only able to find the rental.
